The month of October has started with some introspection creeping into status quo. Not an easy place for most. What seems inevitable becomes burdensome if we harbour a nagging thought that it could have been different. Especially if different seems better! As we progress through the days, then, Grace allows for changes. Inspired, sudden opportunities, unanticipated leeways…. Shall we step into them bravely? Or would we hesitate?No matter. It would seem that most of us are presently geared to adapt and evolve, at least for the time being. And as we willingly shift gears, our activities seem to flow more smoothly, and purposefully. By the time October ends, some of us will feel that we are moving towards a better denouement of our earlier plans. Good for us!If we want, there are additional resources we could draw upon, as always. It is a revisit of our original ideas… It will help us recalibrate our motion towards our goals.

And for those of you who have your birthday this month…Happy Birth Anniversary!!!For October Libra (1st to 22nd of October)…The year ahead will ask the difficult of you, but if you do respond with your best attitude of proactivity, you are in for a very rewarding time. The difficult part is to attend personally to all small details of every plan of yours, to act upon all leads that present themselves, to learn every aspect as though you are responsible for it. The reward is the building of such a solid foundation that the next few years will be happy you did this hard work this year. Health will benefit from regular and moderate diet and exercise routines.Finances will need extra care and thought over expenditures.For October Scorpio (23rd to 31st October)…The year ahead holds lovely promises of gentle love… in all relationships! Romantic love is just one relationship we have in life. And perhaps the most ignored of all relationships is the single most important one… who you are to yourself. While some movements will challenge your deep-rooted apprehensions, overall, you now have the opportunity to fill your life with love… of work, people, ideas, life… with yourself at the centre of all. Health will benefit from moderation and discipline in expressing balance; don’t go overboard in either exercise or diet.Finances will flow well, with both income and expenditure enriching your life. Savings will need an extra push.

“You would like to have defined all your relationships by your emotional quotient, by now. However, you could be missing what the other person feels or wants. Make this week also about the Other… and you will be surprised, pleasantly or not… You will, without doubt, benefit.”

If it is your birthday this week, on or between 1st and 7th July…Happy Birth Anniversary!!!

“Your year ahead is a new beginning of sorts. Be practical, however, and look at what has ended or needs to end, in your life. Not everything is done. And make sure you adopt a step by practical step approach at whatever newness you want to establish. Feedback is an important aid.Health will benefit from particular care with diet, and choosing ease for your system. Slightly upgrade your physical activities.Finances will be fair, with investment opportunities showing up. Read the fine print before investing.”

“It is not yet time to display your achievements, as you still have some skills to build. Perhaps you know a lot, but you are still short of the requisite practice that would make you an expert. It is when you are an expert, that your achievements count. Else, they would be treated as flukes. So, go back to practising that which you would want to be known as…”

And if it is your birthday this week, on or between 17th and 23rd June…. Happy Birth Anniversary!!

“Complete that which you have to learn, in this year coming up. Whether you are ostensibly a student or not, you are in the process of learning, and this year will be a good time to complete it. Take much time off to ponder over the life you have already lived, and how it affects the dreams you have about your future. Don’t allow your present moment to trick you into believing that this is all there is. Try to slow down your pace, in general.Health will be good, with care taken to relieve yourself of tension, stress and worry.Finances will be fair, with slight, but manageable diversions.”

“With the over-emphasis currently popularised about being charitable and giving, a lot of you have forgotten to gauge your own depletion. Giving can only be possible when you receive what you need…. when you are sure you have received. Control your emotional expenses. Check why you want to give your colleague that loan. Check whether you are doing what is necessary to maintain good health.”

And if it is your birthday this week, on or between 27th May and 2nd June….

Happy Birth Anniversary!“The time is now ripe to push forward in the most dynamic manner that you can summon up, about everything that is important to you. Whether new or old, personal or professional….. all projects will benefit this year from your conscious engagement and pro-activity.Health will be better with upping your physical exercise routines and exploring more wholesome diet options than earlier.Finances will progressively improve through the year.”

“Consider this right now….You are holding on to anger and bitterness from the past. None of it has been created right now. In fact, when you stand ready to wage a battle, gathering all your strength to prove your superiority, you are inherently tired and need to heal. There is no battle except within you. And within you, you battle only with your past.”

And if it is your birthday this week 20th-26th May….

Happy Birth Anniversary!“A lot of what has been happening in your life is near beautiful culmination, but just not yet. As patiently as you can, step back and take stock of whether each of your engagements reflect your true intention. Those that do will rush headlong into fruition of their own accord.Health will benefit from calming rituals and routines and grounding exercises.Finances will be adventurous, though stable and available enough.”

“Sometimes, a negative is actually the most positive indication of where you are…Don’t trust blindly…. Check all data and your premises before you take action.Don’t react to others based on your own understanding….. They are going through their own challenges.Don’t believe everything you think…. especially if it is limiting you.Don’t keep doing what you are doing if you are not liking its outcome.Sometimes, it is OK to stop, and check whether you are truly where you had set out to be.”

And if it is your birthday this week, on or between 13th and 19th of May…. HAPPY BIRTH ANNIVERSARY!

“If you have spent a lot of energy on some projects in the past couple of years, it is time now to completely stop and do a due diligence on how they are working out for you. Are you happy? Have you gained anything from them? Have you changed in some manner? Do you like the person you have become?….. And depending on what turns up as answers, tweak your processes before you go ahead. For projects that are already complete or are nascent, you can go on the way you have already decided.Health will benefit from counselling over anger management, and from a change to a more soothing diet.Finances will be unstable, though not worrisome at all.”

“Whether you have won or lost, it is over.In truth, there is no battle. However, you have to now give up this path as it has run its course. Don’t try tweaking the same strategies as you know you are going over the same ground…. and, it is really and truly over.Instead, stop and take stock of where you are, what is happening in your life and how much you have attained. Afterwards, you can sit down at the drawing board, again.”

And if it is your birthday this week, on or between 15th and 21st April…. You are in a great place to claim success.However, do not rush forward to tackle your rivals just yet. Instead, spend some more time consolidating your position amongst friends, supporters, kindred and colleagues. Health will benefit from regular routine care and some grounding, meditative practices. Finances will be good and progressive.
